    Breadcrumb calamari
    ThatCatGirl T.

    This is our 2nd visit. The food is not really worth the prices. The fried calamari had breadcrumbs instead of batter. In order to get that cooked, the actual calamari was overdone. The mussels were awful. Our choice was spicy or green. The liquid looked like dirty dish water and I guess that is what dirty dish water tastes like. It was more of a soup. My father loved the Del Monaco steak. A bit too fatty for me tho. The sides of rice and veg were perfection. I ordered a seafood dish and was very disappointed. The mussels were huge shells but scary looking tiny mussels. It was the same with the mussels appetizer. And they use TINY shrimp!! They over cooked it as well. It's restaurant! They should serve big, plump pieces of seafood, not shoprite sale items. Our waiter was a lot of fun and the dessert was excellent and his back up team were very nice. . We might try once more. Not sure yet

    Chicken Cutlets with Garlic Sauce. Chicken was soggy.
    Emily E.

    I was visiting the area from out of town and happened upon Tero's accidentally. The very first thing I noticed when entering was that it was a Friday night prime dinner time... and there was only one other occupied table in the entire restaurant. I also want to note that the decor is very formal and stuffy with thick white table cloths. I also did not enjoy the food whatsoever. I got the chicken cutlets dinner with garlic sauce. The chicken was thicker than I expect for a cutlet and it was soggy and slimy. Both the rice and vegetables were bland and those are the two sides that come with most entrees at the restaurant. If I lived in the area, I would absolutely choose to cook my own food before spending money on the food at Tero's. Additionally, their food prices are extremely high due to giving you ridiculously massive portions. I would have appreciated the option to get a smaller portion for a cheaper price, because three whole chicken cutlets just seems excessive to me. The one star with this review is to shoutout the great service staff at Tero's. When I expressed not liking my food they tried to ask if there was anything they could do to help. They were as kind and understanding as possible.

    One of my family's top restaurants to go to together, everybody's always happy with their meal and the service! I love the salmon with yellow rice, potatoes, and veggies! Drinks are always good too.

    Sirloin Portuguese style steak topped with smoked ham and eggs!!! AMAZING

    Our cousins brought us here and we were not disappointed!!!! The food was delicious!!! All the dishes were so flavorful, the grilled octopus was perfection and our steaks were perfectly cooked and also wonderfully flavored! The establishment was spotless and service was impeccable ! Thank you for a wonderful experience.... Oh and the espresso and desserts were a great way to end our amazing meal!!!! P.S. there is no way you could ever give this establishment less than five stars!!!

    Always a great meal. Lunch specials are fantastic! Had steak with egg with vegetables. Finished with a cappuccino! Service was fast and always inviting.

    Paella Valenciana
    Pete B.

    After reading a few of the most recent comments, I was extremely hesitant about coming here. Nevertheless, I had such a craving for paella, I decided to roll the dice. To start off with, we ordered the fried calamari. My wife is always nervous with this item when we go out because it's either really good or really bad. This was really good. Not chewy at all and obviously fresh. I had to ask for another side of marinara but that's minor. The paella was excellent. Completely satisfied my craving. The portion was huge and this is coming from someone that can eat. I took a little less then half home. I got the paella Valenciana. Over loaded with seafood and chicken. My wife got the skirt steak and she said it was very good. I didn't try it, so this small segment is hearsay. To accompany our meal, we had a pitcher of sangria. The sangria was average. We've had better but it definitely wasn't one of the lower rung sangrias we've had. Service was on point. Very attentive and accommodating. I know there's a lot of negatives posted on here, but our experience was completely the opposite. Definitely on their A game when we were there.

    Lobster bisque
    Jairo A.

    What a hidden Gem!! At first you walk in and the restaurant looks antiquated and definitely needs a facelift but you soon forget about it when food comes out The food is full of flavor and the portions are huge so be ready to eat and still have leftovers to take home We had lobster bisque Octopus which was amazing and really want to know what was in the sauce... a hint of spiciness but not over the top We had the Delmonico steak and lobster tail w crab meat for lunch although the steak was a little fatty it was delicious and to be fair the waiter did warn me about the fat Overall amazing little spot and will definitely be back

I chose the Lemon & Herb flavor for one and the Medium spice for the other. It took a little while for the food to come out, but it was worth the wait. The chicken had a nice grilled and roasted flavor, and it was juicy throughout. The Lemon & Herb had great flavor, while the Medium spice had a nice little kick to it. I also ordered a large Peri Fries ($5.95). They were lightly battered, seasoned with peri salt, and crispy on the outside. Solid fries that I really enjoyed. Overall, I enjoyed my meal, and the BOGO deal made it an even better value. I would recommend this place if you're looking for tasty grilled chicken with plenty of flavor.

Very nice flavor with a light garlic and olive oil taste that did not overwhelm the shrimp - rib eye : simply seasoned that really let the meat flavor rise. Rum: they had Zacapa 23 year. A good recommendation to sip along with a tremendous meal. One note: the medium rare was closer to black and blue, and the medium was closer to medium rare.

Oddly enough, the onions were the best part of the plate. Overall, I enjoyed the atmosphere and service, and I'd come back to try the seafood next time.

We had to try some of the many deserts they had - settled on cinnamon rice pudding n the mango cheese cake . So good n generous portions. Took a doggy bag home n will enjoy it tonite for dinner.

Traditional mains were all ok, my wife had the paella and I had an another seafood dish, all good and satisfying. 3 guests had the cowboy steaks. I think over $90.00 each. No complaints , but a personal pet peeve of mine is items listed market price. Personally I'm not paying over $90 for a ribeye but that's my prerogative. They enjoyed them but didn't ask the price.
